For decades, ACRM (American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine) has been redefining what it means to lead in rehabilitation medicine. From its early days as the American College of Radiology and Physiotherapy to its current role as a global hub for collaboration, ACRM has always been about — making a difference.
Dr. Fofi Constantinidou, ACRM President, puts it simply:
“ACRM is a very welcoming, innovative organization that has been transforming through the decades to address the needs of the research and rehabilitation community.”
Why ACRM Stands Out
What makes ACRM special? It’s the people. ACRM connects clinicians, researchers, neuroscientists, rehab engineers, data analysts, and service providers across 25 unique communities. “We are interdisciplinary,” says Dr. Constantinidou.
“We have not only clinicians and researchers in health professions, but also neuroscientists, rehab engineers, people interested in measurement, and data analysts. We have a variety — a true interdisciplinary reach and mission. We have evolved to address the needs of people who require rehabilitation, and in doing so, we understand the value of pulling together people with different types of expertise.”
This collaborative, inclusive approach ensures that ACRM remains vibrant and ahead of the curve. Its global reach unites professionals worldwide to address the universal need for advancements in rehabilitation. The challenges of rehabilitation aren’t confined to any one region — the world needs the innovation and expertise that ACRM fosters.
Why Join ACRM?
Becoming part of ACRM means opening doors to growth, networking, and impact. Here’s what you’ll gain:
- Global Connections: Meet and collaborate with experts dedicated to advancing rehabilitation.
- Exclusive Insights: Dive into cutting-edge research and resources you won’t find anywhere else.

Dr. Constantinidou underscores the importance of involvement:
“ACRM relies on volunteers. Volunteers are busy people — students, fellows, clinicians, service delivery providers, researchers, administrators. These people believe in the cause, believe in the mission of ACRM. I encourage everyone to ask, ‘How can I get involved? What can I do?’ Through this involvement, people make a positive influence in the field and benefit directly from opportunities for growth, learning and development.”
